Product Overview
The AquaMotion AMH3K-RN Recirculation System is designed to deliver ON-DEMAND hot water quickly to all points of use between the hot water heater and the fixture located furthest away. It is for installation under a sink. With ON-DEMAND, the homeowner has the ability to manually activate the system through a wireless controller. It does not include a timer. Once activated, the circulator run time is 5 minutes or until the water temperature reaches 105°F. ON-DEMAND is preferred over pumps with timers if you are trying to save money on electricity.
The AMH3K-RN can be operated by a standard wall switch that controls power to the outlet you are using. Aquamotion offers several different wireless controller kits as well. Wireless controller kits include controller and receiver. When adding a wireless controller kit, you also get the option to add up to 4 additional controllers for their ON-DEMAND pumps. Additional controller options include a wireless button (AMK-WBR), a wireless wall switch (AMK-WSR) and a motion sensor (AMK-MSR).
The AMH3K-RN is installed under a sink and is for use in households with large storage tanks or tankless water heaters in common 2 pipe plumbing systems. Designed for standard plumbing systems with a hot water pipe up to 600 ft., it does not require a dedicated return line. For the best results, it is installed at the furthest fixture away from the hot water tank. The pump has 3 speeds. It creates a loop from the water heater to the faucet and back again. The unused hot water is drawn back through this loop by the pump, so when you turn on your hot water faucets, you get hot water quickly. Water is not left in the pipes to get cold, and you waste less water because you don’t have to wait.
Water savings can be as great as 12,000 – 15,000 gallons per year with 4-5 taps in a home. As many homeowners know, you can turn on the faucet and wait for the water to heat up for a very long time - sometimes more than 2 or 3 minutes. That waiting time is wasting energy and countless gallons of water!
All of the moving parts of the AquaMotion AMH3K-RN recirculator are housed in a "Green Eco Cartridge Design". It is the only field serviceable and replaceable cartridge available. With this design, simply remove the rotor assembly, flush the cartridge with water and reinstall it. Simple, cost-effective, patented technology!
Requirements for using the AMH3K-RN include a min./max. water pressure of 20 PSI / 125 PSI with a maximum water temperature of 176°F (80°C). The AMH3K-RN includes everything you need:
